Chapter 669 - 669: The Daluo Golden Immortal Title

"Yes, yes, that's the name," the Chief Moderator said. "I'm out for skewers with some friends, and I get a call from someone on the forum. They tell me some spamming newbie showed up in the 'Morning Enlightenment, Evening Death' section. Then you popped up and said you'd handle it, but it's been over half an hour and nothing's happened. What's the deal?"

Yan Yang replied, "It's all a misunderstanding. Little Ghost wasn't spamming."

"A misunderstanding?" The Chief Moderator was stunned for a moment, then questioned, "The person who called me was very clear. Little Ghost has been replying to posts non-stop in the 'Morning Enlightenment, Evening Death' section. So far, he's made at least a hundred replies. If that's not spamming and flooding the board, what is?"

Yan Yang said, "Boss, it's a bit complicated to explain. You should just get on the forum and see for yourself. Once you've seen it, you'll understand."

"Fine, I'll get on the forum and take a look now." With a surprised expression, the Chief Moderator hung up the phone and opened the Cultivator Forum using his phone's browser.

"What are you doing on your phone? Come on, drink up!" his friend called out.

The Chief Moderator picked up the beer in front of him, downed it in one go, and stood up. "You guys go on and drink. I have to take care of something, I'll be right back."

"Hurry back," his friends said in unison.

These friends of his were all ordinary people. But in this day and age, aside from a few Ascetic Monks or secluded Buddhist and Daoist cultivators, most Cultivators practiced by immersing themselves in worldly affairs.

In such cases, socializing was naturally essential. In addition to befriending other Cultivators, they would also make friends with ordinary people, and might even take on mundane jobs to experience life and temper their resolve.

Perhaps the owner of that delicious little eatery near you is actually a Cultivator from the Tripod Cuisine School.

Or maybe that delivery guy who often brings you packages is actually a Body Refining master, able to haul heavy goods upstairs with ease!

Or perhaps a seemingly ordinary teacher who once taught you secretly holds another identity: a Cultivator of the Confucian School.

These scenarios were all highly possible.

Walking away from the barbecue stand, the Chief Moderator logged into the Cultivator Forum on his phone and clicked into the "Morning Enlightenment, Evening Death" section.

As soon as he entered, he saw that the entire page was filled with posts that Zhao Yuan had replied to.

His brow twitched and his expression soured slightly, but he didn't say anything, simply clicking open one of the threads.

As luck would have it, this particular thread was asking about some issues related to the Feng Shui School. And this Chief Moderator happened to be a renowned master of the Feng Shui School from the younger generation!

'Let's see if you're really just spamming!'

After muttering to himself, the Chief Moderator swiped the screen, scrolling the page down to Zhao Yuan's reply.

"Huh?"

As the saying goes, an expert's skill is apparent from their first move.

The moment the Chief Moderator glanced at the answer Zhao Yuan had given, his expression grew serious.

Because he knew that the answer Zhao Yuan provided was not only not spam, but was actually quite brilliant!

He found a quiet spot, calmed his mind, and carefully read through Zhao Yuan's brief answer of just a hundred-odd characters. He then closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he finally managed to fully digest the knowledge contained within the explanation.

"Incisive! Brilliant! Masterful!"

Opening his eyes, the Chief Moderator let out a long breath and offered three words of the highest praise.

He didn't even need to look at the other replies. Based on this one answer alone, he could determine that Little Ghost wasn't spamming, but was seriously answering the questions! And the answers he was providing were extremely valuable!

'No wonder Yan Yang didn't take action against Little Ghost. The guy is clearly answering questions seriously, how could anyone call it spamming? It seems the people on the forum never even clicked in to read Little Ghost's answers and just jumped to the conclusion that he was spamming.'

The Chief Moderator felt a surge of relief. He was thankful that he'd chosen to ask Yan Yang about the situation after getting the call. If he had just banned Little Ghost's account without a second thought, it would have been a massive blunder.

Then again, it wasn't surprising that others had misunderstood. In the "Morning Enlightenment, Evening Death" section, you could only see the questions without paying. The answers below required payment to view.

If Zhao Yuan hadn't replied to so many posts all at once, someone might have gotten curious enough to pay and click in to see. But the problem was, Zhao Yuan's constant, rapid-fire replies gave others the impression that he was just flooding the board with spam. Under those circumstances, who would be willing to waste money like that?

Shaking his head, the Chief Moderator decided to post a thread in the general discussion section to explain the situation and clear Little Ghost's name.

Just then, Yan Yang sent him a message: "So, Boss, have you seen Little Ghost's replies?"

The Chief Moderator replied, "I have. You were right, he's not spamming. He's answering questions very seriously. And his answers are brilliant—I'm no match for him!"

Yan Yang sent back a laughing emoji. "There's something else—I wonder if you noticed, Boss? Little Ghost's knowledge is incredibly profound! He's dabbled in almost every one of the Cultivation Schools, and his attainments are far from shallow! At the very least, his theoretical understanding is extremely high."

"What? Is that so?"

The Chief Moderator was taken aback. He quickly backed out of the thread and took a closer look, only to discover that the situation was exactly as Yan Yang had described. The posts Little Ghost had replied to covered nearly all the Cultivation Schools, encompassing everything from Alchemy and Artifact Creation to Drawing Talismans and Array Formation, among many other fields! Moreover, every single answer was so brilliant and exquisite that you could take it home and pass it down to your descendants as a Secret Technique!

The Chief Moderator sucked in a sharp breath, absolutely dumbfounded by what he was seeing.

'Who on earth *is* this Little Ghost? A living encyclopedia of cultivation?'

Beyond the shock, a wave of wild joy surged through him.

'Isn't someone like Little Ghost exactly what the Cultivator Forum needs most?'

Without a second thought, he immediately used his authority to grant Little Ghost the "Daluo Golden Immortal" title.

This was a title, not a forum Level, but obtaining it granted access to all sections of the Cultivator Forum and bestowed the vast majority of its permissions and privileges!

If one had to make a comparison, the Daluo Golden Immortal title was somewhat akin to a VIP membership on other forums—and a lifetime one at that!

On the Cultivator Forum, the number of people who held the Daluo Golden Immortal title could be counted on one hand.

These individuals were either long-famous seniors in the Cultivation Realm or incredibly well-known masters! All of their accounts were verified.

Zhao Yuan's "Little Ghost" was the first account to be granted the Daluo Golden Immortal title without its owner's true identity being known.

But the Chief Moderator didn't see anything wrong with this.

'If you want to keep a Great God, you have to give them the status they deserve!'
